That look correct here is o/p from xinedt.d/mbsebbs

...

# Telnet to the bbs using mblogin, disabled by default.
#
service telnet
{
       disable         = no
       protocol        = tcp
       instances       = 10
       flags           = REUSE
       log_on_failure += USERID
       socket_type     = stream
       user            = root
       server          = /usr/sbin/telnetd
       server_args     = -L /home/mbse/bin/mblogin
       wait            = no
}


Not disabled so should be good !

In /etc/services both telnet and ssh are shown as ports 22 & 23.

Hmm, wonder if it is the modem or router but the router should be passing on
ports 22 and 23.
